Joolz - Aer²

I would go joolz aer 2 and then get the carrycot

Joolz aer 2 and Nuna pipa URBN are what I’m doing for my nyc baby. This combo is most versatile for travel etc.

Agreed. Friends have the Yoyo which is typically the other main contender but are jealous of our AER2 and prefer it.

We have the Aer and love it for travel! We’ve taken it onto the plate and put it in the overheads no problem. Our son is 19 months now and still uses it, but does like to walk occasionally, but his stamina is low so it still get use! You’ll probably time you end up using it more than your original one, especially in London as it’s so light and easy to handle.

The new joolz aer 2 actually has a full recline. You can probably transition to it with a 1 or 2 month old if you feel confident and safe.

I saw them both in person today and the folded bugaboo looks clunky compared to the joolz which looks so nice and neat but I’m torn because: 1. Will I be annoyed about the recline having to unzip and re zip 2. Basket size - I could easily put in a whole nappy bag into the bugaboo but really struggled with the joolz 3. I really do like the lighter weight of the joolz tho, especially living in the city where there are so many bloody stairs! So will I be annoyed at the bugaboo because it’s heavier and less portable?!

We went with the Aer2 in the end! The lighter weight, and neater fold won out against the recline mechanism and whilst the bugaboo had the bigger basket the way its structured in front meant that the kids would always be resting their feet on what would be in the front of the basket and I remembered that really bugged me when we had the first bugaboo butterfly. And the basket access whilst not as open is ok because we don’t really carry much when we’re out and about and also because of needing to fold and unfold to navigate stairs we wouldn’t load it up much.

For the update in the recline mechanism and the footrest although to be honest makes not much difference overall because it’s small, and way the straps are tightened and bigger basket, yes. It also handles much smoother than the aer+ because of the slightly bigger wheels. One thing to note though that the footrest mechanism on the aer+ is very annoying, it kept popping out and one time we lost the metal bit that keeps it connected and also didn’t always stay up so if footrest is important to you then aer2

Hey, in same boat here and went to look at both and the you in shop. Yoyo 3 is an absolute no, the last on demo was struggling at certain times, is an easy one to rule out. Aer2 I found aesthetically just that bit better and feeling of being well built too and it glides a bit smoother when pushing it. I think the Aer2 is the winner been the two UNLESS.... you intend to use the stroller frequently and also have lots of storage in the basket. Based on advice from friends, they use their stroller 99% of the time after 7 8 months because it's just quick and easy when you're running around and not having to worry about space in the basket is just worthwhile, saves having to carry a backpack for example and other bits and bobs. If you think space in the basket isn't a deal breaker for what you're buying it for then I would say go for the Aer2, it seemed that bit better to me. I've ordered the butterfly 2, should be here next week, looking forward to it!!

I tried the butterfly 2 and joolz aer+ and thought the aer+ was better constructed. I bought the aer+, but then literally the day after taking it out, realized the bottom basket was a bit too small, and was a little annoyed by that - and ALSO found out about the joolz aer2, which hadn't been on my radar. The joolz aer2 has a larger basket, so that would've been perfect! I regret not considering the basket, and would've really preferred the aer2, but am (overall) very happy with the joolz aer+.

Love the Joolz Aer 2 for the city. It’s great for getting in and out of all stores/restaurants, yet still sturdy enough for imperfect sidewalks or gravel paths in Central Park. If I’m going out with my infant only, I’ll always choose the Joolz. That said, if I’m planning on spending a long day outside with both my infant and my 5 year old, I’ll opt for my Uppababy Vista, as I can put everything I could possibly need for the day (e.g., diaper bag, water bottles for everyone, my 5 yo’s soccer ball, the sweatshirts we’ll need in the morning but eventually throw off in the afternoon, etc), in the basket of the Vista. That’s not possible with the Joolz.

We have the Joolz aer 2 and really like it. The one hand folding is great but you do need two hands to fold the bumper bar. The recline is fine, we hold the back while we unzip so that we can slowly lower it. The storage basket holds a decent amount and the stroller is pretty sturdy. We fly a lot and have managed to take it in cabin most of the time and it fits in the overhead compartment. It stands up when folded and fits great in our car so we leave it in there most of the time.  We had the babyzen yoyo previously and sold it to get the joolz aer and it feels like a real upgrade. We used the yoyo for the first year with the baby kit for the first 6 months so can’t really say if the joolz aer is good for that stage. We have twins so need all the convenience we can get and the yo-yo’s folding mechanism was just too annoying to me.
